Tutanota enables you to automatically encrypt and decrypt your entire mailbox by simply logging in with your password. The solution that makes this possible is rather complex, here's some technical background: https://tutanota.com/blog/posts/innovative-encryption

And now I really want to live in denver. XD

This is cool. The #OpenStreetMap #France community have their videos on their own #PeerTube instance! Community owned, less centralized systems!

Oh My Fucking God
#NewPipe can stream just the audio from YouTube

Five years ago, news broke of Snowden's revelations.

“The government and corporate sector preyed on our ignorance. But now we know."

"The revelations made the fight more even.”

Keep fighting, everyone. Privacy is a human right. https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2018/jun/04/edward-snowden-people-still-powerless-but-aware

That could be really interesting: #Tor integration into #Firefox.

The Fusion Project (still experimental) aims to integrate the Tor functionality into Firefox. But as I said before it is just experimental right now.

#Pixelfed, the ethical alternative to #Instagram, has started its beta testing and looks nice 😎

You can get the latest news on the beta and upcoming #federation by following @pixelfed

Apparently the first PixelFed cat photo was posted by @mike at https://pixelfed.social/bremensaki

Next week I'm playing at noise festival that actually features some very interesting artists.

“I don’t know what would happen if the media starts picking up a theme that Google is secretly building AI weapons or AI technologies to enable weapons for the Defense industry.”

Personal-device security is an economic issue! (economic = class)

(cheap) Android devices ship with pre-installed malware - https://blog.avast.com/android-devices-ship-with-pre-installed-malware?utm_campaign=socialposts_us&utm_source=linkedin&utm_medium=social

If you use #GoogleDrive, you are also allowing Google to do whatever they want with your files: they can read them, copy them, give them to anyone else, make derivative works, even publish them online without your permission (see attached screenshot). #DropBox is similar.

In other words, private files uploaded to Google Drive are no longer private.

You might want to try #privacy aware #NextCloud instead, which actually lets you control who gets to see/use your stuff:

My favourite plugin for Tiny Tiny RSS must be the one that automatically fetches the complete news article for me, so I don't have to open every article in my web browser to be able to read it.

Most sites is full of ads, trackers, bloated JavaScripts and on top of that almost all use unreadable fonts. It's so nice to be able to avoid all that.

Chrome isn't a web browser. It's a tentacle of Google that takes over your computer, spies on you, and controls everything you see.

Alexa recorded a couple's private conversation and sent it to a random contact.

Amazon said it's "an extremely rare occurrence."

Get this thing out of your home, folks.

Linux Journal uses Disqus for their comments, since when is that even remotely close to being okay?

what if having an internet-connected device constantly listening to you is actually not a good idea
